The Property — Natali Apartment
Natali Apartment is a modest but practical base in Borjomi's town centre. The lobby is small and functional, with a friendly front desk and a sense that you're staying in someone's well-maintained flat rather than a faceless hotel. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want clean rooms, a kitchenette for self-catering, and easy walking access to the park and springs — no frills, but solid value for a short stay.
Chronicles of Borjomi
Borjomi emerged as a spa town in the 19th century when the Russian imperial family discovered its mineral waters. The railway arrived in the 1870s, turning it into a fashionable summer retreat for the aristocracy. Its architecture is a mix of ornate Stalin-era sanatoriums, wooden dachas, and grand neoclassical villas, now often faded. After the Soviet collapse, Borjomi reinvented itself around its famous spring water brand and as a gateway to the national park. Today it feels like a relaxed, park-heavy resort town with a distinctly Georgian pace of life.

Live City Briefing — Borjomi

- The Borjomi Mineral Water Plant has opened a small visitor museum with tastings; advance booking is now required for English-language tours.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Natali Apartment, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a rear-facing room on the second or third floor. These are furthest from the street and offer the best balance of quiet and natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street — Borjomi’s main road can have traffic noise, and ground level lacks privacy. Also skip any room near the stairwell if there’s a lift (common in 3-star Soviet-era blocks), as people bang doors.
Best views
A rear-facing room on an upper floor overlooks back gardens or the hillside, typical of Borjomi’s valley setting. Front-facing rooms give a street view — less interesting, but you’ll see local life.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are quietest (above street hubbub, below potential rooftop terrace noise if one exists).
🔊 Noise notes
Borjomi’s main street runs through town; early morning traffic and evening strollers can be audible. The building’s age (common in Georgian 3-star hotels) means thin walls — party guests in corridors carry.
Insider tips
1. Park on the side street if you have a car — the front may have limited spots. 2. Bring earplugs for the thin walls; request a room away from the lift if you’re a light sleeper.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Bring an empty bottle. The warmer water from the outdoor tap tastes less metallic than the chilled dispenser inside the pavilion.
